New Muay Thai/Kickboxing Classes Coming.Effective this week, we've added a Fundamentals kickboxing class on Saturday morning at 9am and Wednesday evening at 7pm. These classes will be beginner-level, no experience required. Kickboxing/Muay Thai is a great way to round out your self-defense skills and is an excellent workout. It's also very enjoyable. We do have some loaner gloves but would highly recommend that you purchase your own gloves and shinguards. Mouthguards are required, but are available at the academy. Talk with Coach Jason about ordering equipment.

Wednesday Schedule ChangesWednesday's Intermediate class at 6pm will now be no-gi. We've also added Fundamentals Kickboxing at 7pm. This class will not replace Professor Charles' advanced class - you'll have to pick one or the other.
